    What kind of psycopath counts generation death as a good thing. All interesting humans dead and you take it as an achievement.

    Stop crying on the past. Stop blaming past on generations. Start learning from past generation mistakes, and thank them for having you.

    Because as a new generation we’re going to make a lot of mistakes, who knows if more or less than the past generations. And we shouldn’t be blamed in the future.

    Blaming the past generations and not learning from them is a childish response. Start doing something productive and useful to society, blaming is not helping.

    Stop having tantrums and grow up. And thank you have past generations otherwise you would have to create all we have now from scratch.

    It’s like saying “Newton dumb” because his work is old and it doesn’t work correctly for all physical frames, not like Einstein his work is much better. Both are as good because they lived at different times with different technology, knowledge, society, etc.

    This feels like explaining basic life knowledge to a 3 year old tbh.

      It needs 3 generations after a traumatic incident to get the negative consequences out of the population.

        This is a neutral post and it isn’t anti-boomer per se.

        It’s a little disingenuous to say that though .

        How is presented to us, in this Lemmy post, isn’t really neutral though, it leans towards one point of view.

      Kiddies who can’t think beyond the “us vs them” mentality but also think that all old people are bad, like that’s not as insane a generalisation as saying “all people of X race/sexuality/whatever are bad”. Human brains love trying to put everything in categories and labels, especially other humans.

        also think that all old people are bad

        Not many people actually believe this. It’s more that statistically it’s better for the country as more old people die. My boomer parents are progressive, but the generation by and large is holding us back. Of course the electoral college is part of the problem as well.

          Ok so when that generation is dead, how does that fix the musk, Bezos, chesky, Zuckerberg problem exactly? We’re still stuck with them. They are still doing far more damage.

            With more progressive voting comes more chances at holding billionaires accountable. Boomers vote GOP who gives tax breaks to the rich.

              And yet somehow the younger generations are powerless to stop the evil boomers when they have the political numerical superiority to make the changes they want now…

              Get out and vote. Run for office - local politics is where you start - get involved. Be that change.

              ******And always remember that one day YOU will become the hated generation that is standing in the way of progress.

                It really just comes down to this.

                But it takes more effort to do so, than comment on an Internet forum.

                  I have served in local politics and public safety but my time is long past. It’s well past time the next generations start to run things and I’m tired of waiting.

                    Thank you for your service, citizen.

                    but my time is long past.

                    There are always advisory positions available.

                    It’s well past time the next generations start to run things and I’m tired of waiting.

                    Well, you know what they say about Power and Vacuums, they get filled, and the current stock of power lords will die off eventually.

                    So at some point they’ll run for office (if they can put their phones down long enough to do so ( I kid! I kid! :p )).

                    To be fair though, we’re not making their (future) elected jobs any easier by fucking things up today and doing our elected jobs poorly; its a team effort.

          Every generation can see right from wrong. The problem is we’re not all agreeing on what is right and what is wrong.
